NO WAR STAMP REQUIRED. Attorney General of North Carolina j Renders a Decision. Ralkigh, Jan. 28.—The attorney gen eral of North Carolina has given the following opinion to a clerk of the su perior court: . “It is not necessary for you to place a documentary internal revenue stamp on a report made to this office. The state has the right to conduct its own busi ness through its own agencies without interference, directly or indirectly, from the national government. “A state is but a corporation and can not act except through its own agen cies. The federal government cannot require revenue stamps to be placed on the official bonds of state or county municipalities, though I notice the com missioner of internal revenue has made a different ruling. “The power to take involves the power to destroy. Congress has no power to make tax deeds issued by the state void for the want of a stamp, nor can con gress forbid the recording of an un stamped instrument under the state laws.” CHARTER FOR A NEW ROAD.
